The Communist Manifesto is an academic work whether you like it or not. I am personally not a fan of it but not calling it academic is just plain silly. I have always felt that when it came to understanding Marx "Das Capital" is a far superior work to the manifesto. He was more mature when he wrote it. He goes into deep detail of how capitalism goes wrong. A good read for anyone interested in reading capitalist criticism. Some of the things capitalist societies have gone through are described in Das Capital.
Not for lightweights either. Classes are taught around the world just on that book alone. A lot of economic knowledge is required. When I say economic knowledge I mean it also. I don't mean just reading articles here and there..but actual economic theory and criticism.
